Judges 5

Na ka waiata a Tepora raua ko Paraka tama a Apinoama i taua ra, ka mea,

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

Whakapaingia a Ihowa mo te takitakinga a nga kaitakitaki o Iharaira, mo te hihikotanga mai o te iwi.

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

Whakarongo, e nga kingi, kia whai taringa, e nga rangatira; maku, ae ra, maku e waiata ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

E Ihowa, i tou putanga atu i Heira, i tou haerenga atu i te parae i Eroma, i wiri te whenua, i maturuturu iho ano nga rangi; i maturuturu iho ano hoki nga wai o nga kapua.

LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

I rere a wai nga maunga i te aroaro o Ihowa, ko taua Hinai ano hoki, i te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

I nga ra o Hamakara tama a Anata, i nga ra o Taere, i takoto kau nga huarahi, i haere hoki nga tira haere i nga ara i tahaki.

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

I mutu rawa nga rangatira o Iharaira, i kahore rawa, a whakatika noa ake ahau, a Tepora, whakatika ake ahau, he whaea no Iharaira.

The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

I whiriwhiria e ratou he atua hou; katahi ka puta he whawhai ki nga kuwaha: i kitea ranei he pukupuku, he tao ranei, i roto i nga mano e wha tekau o Iharaira?

They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

Kei nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga o Iharaira toku ngakau; i hihiko ratou ki te tuku i a ratou i roto i te iwi. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.

My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

Korerotia, e nga kaieke kaihe ma, e te hunga e noho ana i runga i nga whariki utu nui, e te hunga e haere ana i te ara.

Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

Mamao noa mai i te reo o nga kaikopere, i nga wahi utuhanga wai, ka korerotia e ratou i reira nga mahi tika a Ihowa, nga mahi tika o tana whakahaere tikanga i roto i a Iharaira: katahi te iwi o Ihowa ka heke ki raro ki nga kuwaha.

They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

Maranga, maranga, e Tepora: maranga, maranga, whakahuatia he waiata: whakatika, e Paraka, arahina tau whakaraunga ki te whakarau, e te tama a Apinoama.

Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

Katahi ka haere mai ki raro te morehu o nga rangatira, me te iwi; i haere mai hoki a Ihowa ki raro moku ki te whawhai ki te mea nui.

Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

I puta mai i a Eparaima te hunga ko to ratou pakiaka nei kei a Amareke; kei muri i a koe, e Pineamine, i roto i ou iwi; i haere mai nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga i roto i a Makiri; no roto i a Hepurona nga kaihapai i te tokotoko a te kaiwhakahaere.

Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

I a Tepora hoki nga rangatira o Ihakara; he pera a Ihakara, he pera hoki a Paraka: huaki atu ana ratou i raro i ona waewae ki te raorao. I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga whakaaroaronga nunui o te ngakau.

And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

He aha koe i noho ai ki nga taiepa hipi, whakarongo ai ki nga whakatangi mo nga kahui? I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga rapurapunga nunui o te ngakau.

Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

I noho a Kireara ki tera taha o Horano: na ko Rana, he aha ia i noho ai i runga i nga kaipuke? Ko Ahera, whakakeke tonu mai i te takutai moana, a noho ana ia i te taha o ona manga wai.

Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

Ko Hepurona he iwi i whakahawea o ratou tinana ki te mate; raua ko Napatari i nga wahi teitei o te parae.

Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

I haere mai nga kingi, i whawhai, na ka whawhai nga kingi o Kanaana ki Taanaka, ki te taha o nga wai o Mekiro. Kihai tetahi moni i riro hei taonga mo ratou.

The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

I whawhai iho ratou i te rangi; i whawhai nga whetu i o ratou huarahi ki a Hihera.

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

I kahakina atu ratou e te awa, e Kihona, e taua awa tawhito, e te awa, e Kihona. E toku wairua, haere tonu i runga i te kaha.

The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

Takatakahi ana i reira nga paua o nga hoiho, na nga pekenga, na nga tupeketanga a o ratou marohirohi.

Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

Kanga a Meroho, e ai ta te anahera a Ihowa; kanga kinotia nga tangata o reira; mo ratou kihai i haere mai hei awhina mo Ihowa, hei awhina mo Ihowa ki te whawhai ki te hunga nunui.

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

Kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine a Taere wahine a Hepere Keni; kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine o te teneti.

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

I tonoa e tuahangata he wai mona, he waiu tana i hoatu ai, kawea ana e ia he pata i roto i te peihana rangatira.

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

Totoro atu ana tona ringa ki te titi, tona matau ki te hama a nga kaimahi; hama iho e ia a Hihera, akina iho tona pane; titia iho hoki e ia tona rahirahinga a puta rawa.

She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

Kupapa ana ia ki ona waewae, hinga ana, takoto ana: i kupapa ia, i hinga, ki ona waewae: ko te wahi i kupapa ai ia, hinga ana ia i reira, mate rawa.

At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

I titiro mai te whaea o Hihera i te matapihi, i karanga hoki i te wini whakakahokaho, Na te aha i roa ai te haere mai o tana hariata? Na te aha i puhoi ai nga wira o ana hariata?

The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

Ka utua e nga mea mohio o ana wahine rangatira; Ae, ko ia ano hei whakahoki ake i te kupu ki a ia ano,

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

Kahore ranei ratou i tupono atu, i wehewehe i nga taonga? He kotiro, tokorua nga kotiro ki tera, ki tera; he taonga kotingotingo to Hihera, he taonga kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira, he mea kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, mo nga kaki o te hunga i te taonga parakete?

Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

Kia pena te whakangaromanga o ou hoariri katoa, e Ihowa; kia rite ia te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia ki te ra i tona putanga kaha mai. Na e wha tekau nga tau i okioki ai te whenua.

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
